If your startx does not startup automatically means when you try to
init default is 5(X) then it should show some errors .Please see in
those errors( tail -f /var/log/messages)
, dmesg and xfree86 logs.The xconfiguration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

Try to google with that error or post it over here.

If there are no errors ,restart your xfs server(font server)

service xfs start
ldconfig -v
